Honestly I'm happy with this decision. SC looks like its going to be a premier PC game and what machines will be running DX10 with less than 8GB in two years? I look forward to a game that needs a new graphics card to play.

The issue in a nut shell is the company making the game had a similar donation set up to make Mech Warrior Online, which turned out to be substantially different than what it was originally described to be. This game appeared to be a rip off of star citizen thus people were concerned about what to expect.

A tablet or phone is just a device. Touchscreen interfaces are pretty limited, sure, but they work fine for specific genres. Fallout 1 and 2, for example, would work fine on a tablet since the mouse-based UI and gameplay translates well to touch-based.

how about them having small screens, limited memory and processors? I know they've gotten stronger but its nowhere near a desktop processor.

I feel like you're confusing "depth" with "pretty graphics." A deep game doesn't need to look good. Gameplay has nothing to do with presentation. The original X-COM looks like crap but has tons of depth. I'm pretty sure any modern phone or tablet could run X-COM just fine.

I explained it poorly the point was, please name a game that is made for tablets or smart phones that is "deep". That market simply wants quick simple games. When I hear a game is being developed to work on desktops and smart phones I generally assume its going to smart phone style of quick and easy but not too much to hold my attention.

Kill it, this is the worst piece of crap game. Even the premise makes no sense. Cops need to bring money as evidence back to base, assault cars and copters that have mini guns on them, a city that has no civilians in it at all.

What little they spoke about this game always sounded too good to be true, no surprises here. I would love to see an MMO that is open world that is challenging, unfortunately it looks like I am doomed to follow the hack job MMOs like Mortal Online and Darkfall or some kind of Korean grinder.
